Oh god, I'm going to have to kill her aren't I?

[Ozziegirly]

My MIL and FIL are here, are lovely, have given me loads of time off from kids, have been fab in every way, but earlier MIL called my 9mo DS a "sexy little man" and earlier said "that's a sexy little laugh".

Obviously after I threw up in my mouth a little and wahed my ears with bleach, I didn't actually SAY anything, but omg if she says it again I shall have to kill her. Which is a shame as she is nice.

Sigh

Yes, kill her.

I don't think you have to go that far. A spray with a water bottle every time she says it should do the trick.

Oh I've heard this said before - i hate it!

perhaps you should just throw up on her as a first move. after all it is a lot of effort to lay a new patio.

Ick! Can you not just maim her a bit?

Ew. I'm really laid back but even I think that's super inappropriate and just plain ick.

YANBU I'm afraid you're going to have to kill the nice lady.

A sharp slap across the shins with a garden cane should suffice. You would need to bring the cane up to shoulder height to get the proper effect. I can come and do it for you if you like.

I like all these suggestions...

' A spray with a water bottle every time she says it' actually made me spray tea.

If the spray bottle doesn't work you could distract her with one of those thing on a string cat toys

Eeeewwwwww why do people say stuff like that? So wrong.

Ugh, you're not wrong, you have to kill her!

I heard this said of a toddler at the bus stop the other day, made me so angry and irritated, what's wrong with people??

I'd just go with telling her she's fucking revolting every time she says it.

My friend taught her kid this word to describe boys and pretty for girls,it kinda shocked me.why boys couldnt just be handsome i dont know.made me cringe tbh.

Youre going to have to explain what sexy means to your MIL.Dont just point at her son ha!

uhg. someone in my birthgroup some other site used to call her own son "sexy-legged Xxxxxxx"

You could combine a MN meet-up with a public flogging. There could be comfortable seating and Pimms.

I cringed at a FB 'friend' who posted a pic of her 3 year old posing with a hairbrush pretending to sing, dressed in a nappy and T shirt, with the caption 'sexy little lady' ewwww......Why in Gods name??? Wrong on SO many levels!!!

Bring back the stocks. There is no other way.

Print this out and pass it to her when she says it next.
Collins dictionary definition of sexy Sexy!

Doubly sexy, apparently! I'm an arse

Does she know what it means?

Show her the definition in the dictionary, then if she still says it, smack her on the nose with it.
